Comprehensive analysis of PSMD family members and validation of PSMD9 as a potential therapeutic target in human glioblastoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aims PSMD family members, as important components of the 26S proteasome, are well known to be involved in protein degradation. However, their role in glioblastoma (GBM) has not been rigorously investigated. We aimed to ... -
Task-based functional connectivity reveals aberrance with the salience network during emotional interference in late-life depression
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objectives Late-life depression (LLD) is a common and debilitating disorder. Previously, resting-state studies have revealed abnormal functional connectivity (FC) of brain networks in LLD. Since LLD is associated with ... -
Risk factors of suicidal spectrum behaviors in adults and adolescents with attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder – a systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-21)Introduction: Adolescents and adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk of suicidal spectrum behaviors (SSBs). However, there is limited knowledge about risk factors triggering SSBs ... -
Oral microbiome in a general population - The influence of sample site and sampling method
(Master thesis, 2023-08-02)Oral microbiome profiles reflect the sample types and methodology used to investigate them. The composition of microbes in the oral cavity is site specific. It can also vary due to differences in how a site is sampled. ... -
Deficit of homozygosity among 1.52 million individuals and genetic causes of recessive lethality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Genotypes causing pregnancy loss and perinatal mortality are depleted among living individuals and are therefore difficult to find. To explore genetic causes of recessive lethality, we searched for sequence variants with ... -
Glioblastom hos voksne
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Glioblastom er den vanligste formen for primær hjernekreft hos voksne, og sykdommen har en alvorlig prognose. Selv om det er gjort store fremskritt i molekylær karakteristikk, har det ikke vært større gjennombrudd i ... -
The flavagline FL3 interferes with the association of Annexin A2 with the eIF4F initiation complex and transiently stimulates the translation of annexin A2 mRNA
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-12)Introduction: Annexin A2 (AnxA2) plays a critical role in cell transformation, immune response, and resistance to cancer therapy. Besides functioning as a calcium- and lipidbinding protein, AnxA2 also acts as an mRNA-binding ... -
The in vitro effect of cytokine autoantibodies on Th17-differentiation and function

Bio-psycho-social factors’ associations with brain age: a large-scale UK Biobank diffusion study of 35,749 participants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Brain age refers to age predicted by brain features. Brain age has previously been associated with various health and disease outcomes and suggested as a potential biomarker of general health. Few previous studies have ... -
Anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders in adult men and women with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A substantive and methodological overview
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Knowledge on psychiatric comorbidity in adult ADHD is essential for prevention, detection, and treatment of these conditions. This review (1) focuses on large studies (n > 10,000; surveys, claims data, population registries) ... -
Functional properties of GABAA receptors of AII amacrine cells of the rat retina
(Journal article, 2023-04-05)Amacrine cells are a highly diverse group of inhibitory retinal interneurons that sculpt the responses of bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and other amacrine cells. They integrate excitatory inputs from bipolar cells and ... -
Brain‐wide associations between white matter and age highlight the role of fornix microstructure in brain ageing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Unveiling the details of white matter (WM) maturation throughout ageing is a fundamental question for understanding the ageing brain. In an extensive comparison of brain age predictions and age-associations of WM features ... -
Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics Workflows in Cancer Research: The Relevance of Choosing the Right Steps
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-16)The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of proteome changes that condition cancer development can be achieved with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). LC-MS-based proteomics strategies are carried out ... -
Do Poor Diet and Lifestyle Behaviors Modify the Genetic Susceptibility to Impulsivity in the General Population?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-27)The present study investigated whether an unhealthy diet and other lifestyle behaviors may modify the genetic susceptibility to impulsivity. A total of 33,047 participants (mean age = 42.1 years, 59.8% females) from the ... -
High-resolution structures of malaria parasite actomyosin and actin filaments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-04)Malaria is responsible for half a million deaths annually and poses a huge economic burden on the developing world. The mosquito-borne parasites (Plasmodium spp.) that cause the disease depend upon an unconventional ... -
Analysis of Plasmodium falciparum myosin B ATPase activity and structure in complex with the calmodulin-like domain of its light chain MLC-B
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Myosin B (MyoB) is a class 14 myosin expressed in all invasive stages of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. It is not associated with the glideosome complex that drives motility and invasion of host cells. During ... -
Structure and function of an atypical homodimeric actin capping protein from the malaria parasite
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Apicomplexan parasites, such as Plasmodium spp., rely on an unusual actomyosin motor, termed glideosome, for motility and host cell invasion. The actin filaments are maintained by a small set of essential regulators, which ... -
Exome sequencing in a child with neurodevelopmental disorder and epilepsy: Variant analysis of the AHNAK2 gene
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background The AHNAK2 gene encodes a large nucleoprotein expressed in several tissues, including brain, squamous epithelia, smooth muscle, and neuropil. Its role in calcium signaling has been suggested and to date, clear ... -
Characterisation of a common hotspot variant in acute intermittent porphyria sheds light on the mechanism of hydroxymethylbilane synthase function
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) is the third enzyme involved in haem biosynthesis, in which it catalyses the formation of tetrapyrrole 1-hydroxymethylbilane (HMB). In this process, HMBS binds four consecutive substrate ...
